ec2-automate-backup: tags not applied to snapshots

[ActionScripted]

When I run the following command:

actionscripted@dev $ ./ec2-automate-backup.sh -s tag -t Backups,Values=true -n -h -u

The output is:

Tagging Snapshot snap-6fac131e with the following Tags: Key=CreatedBy,Value=ec2-automate-backup Key=Name,Value=ec2ab_vol-964a987a_1455760489 Key=InitiatingHost,Value='dev' Key=Volume,Value=vol-964a987a Key=Created,Value=1455760489

The snapshot is created but there aren't any tags applied to it, it isn't named, etc. Under tags it's just empty.

AWS CLI version:

aws-cli/1.10.5 Python/2.7.6 Linux/3.13.0-77-generic botocore/1.3.27

Screenshot in case that's in any way helpful:

@ActionScripted might not be the same in your case, but I had similar problem and traced it back to the permissions which the user I was running as. I had to add the create tags permission.
